Why won't my Bissell 1305 pick up dirt?
- B
  Brandon CraigJul 27, 2025
  Several factors can prevent your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner from picking up dirt. The dirt container might be full or not installed correctly, so ensure it is empty and properly positioned. Check for clogs, and make sure the lower main hose is correctly attached. The rotating floor brush may not be working or its bristles may be worn, requiring you to turn on the power to the rotating brush-roll or replace the brush. Also, the filters could be dirty, and the variable suction power might be set too low; clean the filters and rotate the variable suction counter-clockwise for full suction power. Finally, inspect the hose for cracks or holes.

  There are several reasons why your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner might not be picking up dirt. It could be due to a crack or hole in the hose, which would require you to check the hose and replace it if needed. The rotating floor brush bristles might be worn, which means you should replace the brush. Also, ensure that the dirt container or cyclone is correctly positioned and locked in place. Another cause may be that the variable suction power is set to the low setting; in this case, rotate the variable suction counterclockwise for full suction power. Lastly, the filters might be dirty, so check and clean the pre-motor and post-motor filters.

  If you notice dirt escaping from your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner, the dirt container might be full, so you should empty it. Also, the filters or secondary cyclone might be missing or installed incorrectly; check these components for correct installation. Finally, make sure the dirt container is correctly installed by pulling it out and re-inserting it properly.

  If there is no power at the rotating floor brush of your Bissell Vacuum Cleaner, first ensure that the brush switch is in the "ON" position. Also, the vacuum must be reclined to operate the brush. If the brushroll automatically turned off to prevent damage due to clog or large debris in brushroll, locate brush reset button on lower back right of unit and press red button.
